HP Launches the HP Photosmart 7520 eAIO Printer

Many printer manufacturers have set their sights on the small office home office segment (SOHO) and thus have come up with many efficient and cost-friendly all-in-one (AIO) printers that occupy a small footprint. But these printers perform much better at printing documents, not so well at printing photographs however. So while many AIOs are geared towards the business aspect of printing, there are still a few AIOs in the market that cater to the home user who prints as many photographs as documents and demand for quality in their photo printouts.

The HP Photosmart series is HP’s take at the home printer segment, with photo and document printing made easy for the home user. And it gets a new model in the form of the Photosmart 7520 eAIO.

Here are some highlights of the Photosmart 7520:

It sports a 4.33-inch touch-screen display for easy navigation.

With built-in wireless capability, it can print wirelessly. The Printer Control App also allows users to remotely control the print, scan and copy functions from their mobile device.

Five individual ink cartridges for better color in photo printouts and deep blacks in office documents.

The HP Photosmart 7520 will be available from 22 October, and will cost $339.
